Does this pop into your head at random times now? Like at totally random moments?

Hellloooo Tom. Come downnnn Tom.

Very strange.

    Yep. So funny. Just yesterday, actually. Referenced it in an email- i think it went right past the person, who was probably thinking... WTF?

    Oh well.
    I hear you.

    i met some guy named tom the other day, and i said that to him.
    "hello tom, come down tom".

    he just looked at me like i was an idiot. still, i think i'm going to say that to every tom i know and/or meet.

    Absolutely. Can't get it out of my head. I also loved how Eddie scrunched up his face in impersonating Tom when he told the Bridge story about his "ventriloquist act." It would have been awesome at that point if Ed had pulled a Petty dummy out of his suitcase and had it sing Won't Back Down.

    yep!

    I'm also not dissapointed that I Won't Back Down isn't on the boot.

    "That song was written by Jeff Ament. He skateboarded all the way from Montana in order to get here tonight..........I swam."

    "Tom Petty called; asked us to turn it down. Said he's got a big gig tomorrow."

    "You drive for three fucking hours.....you can call me!!"

    "there's a lot to be said for OUT HERE!"

    "That's a helluva a back yard. That is a hell of a back yard!"

    "Helloooooo Tom. Come dowwwwn Tom."

    I'm now convinced that Ed performed some kind of mass hypnosis on us. That is the "trigger phrase".

    No, but I am sure it will now. But I haven't listened to the boot straght through that much.

    Yeah, I was eating at Quizno's the other day and "Won't back down" came on the radio. I let out a little "hellooooo Tom, comedown Tommmm". Luckily, not too many people heard me, but my gf got a good laugh out of it.

    Yes. I undstand this one. I was listening to "into the great wide open", and "yer so bad" (two tom petty great ones) on my rhapsody playlist, and all of a sudden I hear Ed's voice in my head with the Gorge jammers echoing "Hellllloooo Tom, Come down, Tom" Even though I was not at the show either, I can picture the magic of that night in my head by rocking out to the boot. The name "tom" will never be the same again!! LOL.

    I can't stop listening to the boot...

    makes me almost euphoric...

    I want to live that entire day over again...

    with one small adjustment ;)

    over and over and over again :)

    My four-year-old (a budding PJ fan named after a band member and who shares Mr. McCready's bday) loves it. The first time we were listening to the boot in my truck, he started singing along. It is the cutest. He never lets me change the boot now (aw shucks). He asks me, "Tom- are they talking to Tom and Jerry?" I tried to explain, but just said he'd get it later.
    Before my Gorge trip, he made the cutest plea to come with me-- "Daddy, I'VE NEVER seen Pearl Jam."
    All I could say was, "Maybe next time."
